I am currently running a 4 terrabyte hard drive with 4,000 movies on it. You simply connect the box to your TV, connect your hard drive and you are up and running in less that a few minutes.

The simplest and fastest way to watch movies on your television from a hard drive is to purchase the Western Digital WD TV box. Please check your acceptable formating prior to trying this option as well! If your TV doesn’t support HDD or USB inputs in that way, you can always try to connect through a secondary device like a Smart Blu-ray player, streaming device, or gaming console with a USB port. On most Smart TV’s you will have a wider array of formatting you can play, and there are little to no issues to playing from an external hard drive. In that same area it will list the codec that your TV can support.
You need to ensure that your TV can support HDD, or USB input that can read files.

Often times I pull up the manuals by searching manufacturers site for them, and use the handy CTRL + f feature to find all the information I need. There are few key words you are looking for: HDD, USB, and formats.

I always recommend checking the owner’s manual prior to trying either option. Sometimes these options don’t work the first time you try them, or you might not be able do them at all depending on your setup. That is something an employee likely won't be able to know without trying it out on each specific player.Ĭonnecting an external hard drive or USB with your favorite TV shows and movies on it to your TV can revolutionize the way you use your TV. Some might suggest hard wiring into blu ray player, but some won't accept an external hard drive and others have limits on the size of the external hard drive. For instance, apple claims the usb port is mainly for support. The other streaming boxes do not support many video formats, so if you want this idea to work, go with the WD series. You can plug the hdd into the WD TV Live Media Player that is plugged into your television, and you are good to go.
If you want a hard connection, what is often recommended is to purchase something like the WD TV Live Media Player which is a streaming box (like the Roku 3, Apple TV, etc) that supports many video formats. I'm not sure which TV models actually provide this, but they do exist. Many times, the port themselves will say hdd over the port in the television. Some TVs do offer a USB port that is capable of powering an external harddrive.
